We had a very nice week in the Bumble Barn. The beds were very good, the young adults said: we did not sleep that good for a long time. We all liked the surrounding. The Bumble Barn is light and airy and well equiped.

Comfortable quiet location but near Canterbury and motorways. Lovely view from lounge over fields and woods, although at time of our stay field very brown due heatwave. Everything needed was available and no issues arose. Very enjoyable week.

This is great accommodation in a great location. The house itself was comfortable and well equipped and we loved the quirky nature of its shape. We watched hares bobbing about in the field outside the living room doors with some baby ones coming quite close. Being situated centrally in Kent, it is not far to many lovely places. We visited CanterburRead morey, Whitstable, Leeds Castle and Dover Castle and loved the windmill in Stelling Minnis. This is run by volunteers and only open on Sunday afternoons, but well worth a visit (they do a lovely cream tea). Hide

Idyllic location overlooking wheat field. Very quiet and private. Can admire nature from lounge. Friendly and helpful owners on-site, but not intrusive. Very comfortable leather sofas in lounge. Very comfortable bed. Good location to visit different attractions without too much driving. Disappointed with kitchen area. Not very well equipped. Needs Read moremodernization and cupboard space to store food. While the property was overall clean, there were one or two areas that could do with attention to detail. Hide
